Time to share my ultimate home instant noodle "recipe"

- 1 pack spicy noodle (whatever brand you like)

- 1 can mushroom soup

- 2x eggs

- Meats (I've used bacon, hotdogs, smokies, pork slices, whatever is available)

- 1 slice sandwich "cheese style product"

- Frozen veggies

Use 1 can of mushroom soup and 1 can of water. Mix it and get it to boil, then put the noodles in. Let the noodles soften for a while. Add your flavorings and meats and the cheese slice when the noodles are soft enough. Then put 1 egg in and stir it right away so it blends with the soup and thickens it. Once it goes back to a boil add the other egg, but immediately turn the heat down and let the egg just cook in the broth. It takes some experimentation but I can get it to where the yolk can still maintain its shape but is still runny.

When you're ready take the pot off the stove and set it to cool somewhere. Add the frozen veggies at this time and gently stir them in. The heat from the noodles helps cook them and the veggies helps cool the noodles so you can eat it faster.

This is a heavy bowl but sometimes I crave it and it really hits the spot.

Korea at least adds cheese to lots of stuff and it seems to work.

I grew up (as a white American kid in Virginia) often adding a slice of American cheese to instant ramen, and I can confirm that it’s delicious.

A slice of american cheese in instant ramen gives it some body and adds a bit of extra fattiness that's often missing. At least in flavorful, spicy ramen it really doesn't add much cheese flavor. Try it out.

I bet it works wonderfully. American cheese is essentially salty cheddar that melts real nice. That's why it's the best cheese for a hamburger.
